If you're going to choose a girl's name for a boy, use something that isn't so feminine-sounding. Phaedra has been a girls name for thousands of years. If you are going to do this, I recommend an unpopular name with little history that doesn't, in most cases, end in A.

So using something with thousands of years of use on the opposite gender only works when naming girls?

I'm not fond of Phaedra but I love that Peaches is willing to buck the trend.
